Protect Your Assets From The High Cost of Long Term Care

Did you know that 50% of people 65 years or older will spend some time in a nursing home and that it costs $8,000 a month for such care? Because neither health insurance nor Medicare covers these costs, losing one's life savings to such costs is a natural fear. The course illustrates ways to avoid the nursing home, in-home care options, ways to pay for care costs, long term care insurance (LTCi), new alternatives to LTCi insurance, Veteran's and Medicaid benefits, special needs trusts and more. Discover how federal law allows you to convert existing life insurance and annuities into tax-free long term care insurance benefits. There have been significant changes to the Medicaid and VA rules. For example, did you know that paying a caregiver can disqualify you from receiving Medicaid benefits? Learn about the VA's proposed rule changes, which includes a three-year gift look-back period. Learn how to avoid the Medicaid Estate Recovery law, which seeks repayment from a person's estate for benefits paid. The course is taught by elder law attorney, Christopher Lindsay

When: Tuesday, 1/10, 6:00-8:00pm
